With ever increasing pressure to stay relevant, institutions need to be more intentional in how they approach academic program review. It’s essential to be efficient and structured in order to close the gap between process and actionable results. Academic program review can often seem like a laborious and sometimes perfunctory process that doesn’t always yield meaningful outcomes. A lack of consistent data, metrics, and staff engagement can often cloud results and render the process ineffectual. However, by infusing transparency and engaging faculty to build consensus and buy-in for future changes, you can remove fear and anxiety around the process.

Much of the curriculum in higher ed is initially designed as if learners are “neurotypical” and then adapted for those who don’t meet that mold. This leads to many students seeking campus support services outside of the classroom in order to achieve academic success. Neurodiversity (or learner variability) applies to all students. Essentially, neurodiversity is the idea that neurological and learning differences among people are the result of naturally occurring variations within the human genome. Rather than looking for a cure to “fix” neurodiverse behaviors, neurodiversity focuses on accommodating and supporting the diverse population. Human brains all learn differently; therefore, neurodiversity should be regarded as the rule, not the exception. In this webcast, Dr. Elizabeth Coghill from East Carolina University will describe: How ECU’s Pirate Academic Success Center promotes the success of diverse learners by infusing the curriculum with universal design for learning principles and academic technologies, How she, her staff, and a network of peer tutors equip students to be independent and empowered learners by role modeling learning techniques and supports, and The unexpected outcomes of UDL and technology application integration, especially the role it plays when campus learning goes exclusively online.
In toxic environments – where employees feel worse after they start – you may experience uncertainty, fear, or helplessness on when and how to speak up to advocate for yourself and others. You believe you must tolerate the toxicity, even though doing so can be devastating to your career. It doesn’t have to be that way! Join our expert online and learn how to engage in conversations that will empower you to create change. You’ll learn how to recognize, communicate about, and minimize the impact of toxic leadership. You’ll walk away with recommended language, tools, and most importantly, increased confidence to confront toxicity in a non-threatening way.
As a senior leader in higher education, you understand the importance of disruption and innovation. But how do you help enable it on your campus? Join us online to hear from Bob Kustra, a former president at Boise State University (2003-2018), who introduced disruptors throughout his tenure to transform Boise State from an undergraduate commuter college to a research university of distinction. Bob learned through experience that seeding innovation into the college campus is more about capitalizing on accidental moments than it is about planning for it. You will leave with advice on how to: Cultivate a mindset of identifying leads Purposefully follow up Take advantage of unexpected moments
